As reported last week in The Maroon, Loyola's alcohol policy focuses on the abuse, not use, of alcohol. Administrators on campus stress that students use alcohol responsibly. A similar emphasis is taken at other New Orleans area schools. Dr. Gary L. Fretwell, assistant dean of students at Tulane University, said Tulane tries "to stay away from a prohibitive approach to alcohol." Fretwell stresses the facts to the students "so they can make a responsible decision concerning alcohol." According to Fretwell, alcohol can either be sold or given away at university sponsored events and students are allowed to walk across campus with alcohol.
